Soft Pack...and some lame excuses

Hey, sorry, I’ve been interviewing people all this week and last and just haven’t been cranking out the reviews…so it looks like I’m not doing anything, but in fact I am.

Anyway, kind of loving this new self-titled from the Soft Pack, out of San Diego and formerly The Muslims. It’s sharp, tight, unsentimental guitar punk, not genre-busting or particularly thought-provoking but hella fun. Here’s the giveway.

Yeah, this was a good record. It didn't rock me, but it was enjoyable. I listened to it after getting down to all of that Brunettes record and they pared well. Can you discuss who you've interviewed? Will they be at Blurt?

I've gone back to doing a few (read: one at a time) interviews for PopMatters. Rocky Votolato and Eluvium will go there eventually. Puerto Muerto is for Venus, which came back into existence the same day I asked if I could still do interviews for PopMatters. And Clogs and Sharon were for Blurt.
